Getting 100% end-user adoption with SuperTables
“How do we make Tableau’s tabular view of data more usable for front-line business use?”
The answer is simple – with SuperTables!

Before using SuperTables
Reliant Funding is embedding Tableau inside Salesforce to create data-driven queues for their sales representatives and help them prioritize the deals they need to work on each day. With native Tableau, the company could create analytics-centric tables containing the necessary data.
Nonetheless, the sales representatives needed to be able to filter, sort and drill down on records to use the data in the way they needed. To do that, they often had to extract the data into Excel files and do their work there. The BI team needed a solution that would enable these end users to perform their tasks directly in Tableau.

No more external Excel files
In searching for a more user-friendly visual experience for tabular data, Reliant Funding discovered the SuperTables Tableau extension. With the extension, they could create tables that offered their end users the possibility to filter, sort, pivot, and drill down. Thanks to the extension, the sales representatives can now work directly in Tableau, no longer having to extract essential data to external Excel files.
“For us, there are millions at stake. That’s why it’s crucial to have 100% adoption in the sales team and allow the end users to organize their work directly in Tableau.”

Achieved Results
One of the most significant results that Reliant Funding achieved with the extension is a shift from less than 50% to 100% adoption for the sales team. Currently, all sales representatives can use the data provided in Tableau and work with it in the way they need to complete important deals.
Lastly, enabling users to do their daily tasks in Tableau ensures that the data is secure under Tableau’s governance.
